CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Thankfully, that all begins to change around 3 months of age, when most babies develop enough strength in their neck to keep their head partially upright. (Full control usually happens around 6 months.)

Detailed explanation-2: -Your baby’s head needs a lot of support during their first few months, until their neck muscles get stronger. Gaining the strength to hold their head up is the foundation on which the development of all your baby’s other movement is based. It will help them to roll over, sit up, crawl and walk .

Detailed explanation-3: -Babies are fragile, so be gentle and supportive. A baby’s head is big and heavy compared to the rest of its body. Their head flops when it’s not supported – that’s because their neck muscles aren’t strong enough to hold it up yet. Shaking makes the head move backwards and forwards very quickly, with a lot of force.

Detailed explanation-4: -Put your baby on his or her tummy during awake periods and closely supervise. Allowing your baby to exercise and move in this position helps develop head and neck muscles.

Detailed explanation-5: -Always support your newborn’s head and neck. To pick up baby, slide one hand under baby’s head and neck and the other hand under their bottom. Bend your knees to protect your back. Once you’ve got a good hold, scoop up your baby and bring baby close to your chest as you straighten your legs again.
